| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? Have now heard the PAD 25th Ann and compared directly with Dominus Rev C and Ann Contego/Canorus. Basically all of them are heavyweights in the bass region...the 25th Ann was just quieter and brought more definition, less grain to the lowest regio... | |
| Worlds best DAC Got it! ;) | |
| Worlds best DAC "Lloyd, I was thinking about your digital front end and your intonations early in this thread about the old equipment itch. I think you should be very pleased with yourself. Digital front ends come and go like the wind in most systems. Few manufac... | |
| Worlds best DAC Hi Agear,Thanks for taking the time to share all of that...fascinating to read. If you do hear how those shootouts went in Asia, please post!!! There is a whole new generation of digital that is coming out which (imho) started with the Vivaldi and... | |
| Tube preamp for SS amp Chad, I am no techie, but I think CJ make quite a big deal of their volume attenuator, indicating they use a discrete resistor for each volume increment to attenuate the volume (in 0.7db increments all the way through)...somehow preserving the int... | |
| Worlds best DAC I just read this morning that the Phasure NOS 1 has a very similar architecture to the Trinity DAC. Quote from ACG at Whatsbestforum below:"The Phasure NOS1 USB dac seems to use much of the same tech as the Trinity. Eight x PCM1704 and completely ... | |
| Tube preamp for SS amp Hi Chad,Always a challenge...good luck. I can only share my own experience. the newer CJ (ET3SE and GAT) have SS-like output impedances which can work extremely well with SS amps and Tube amps. GAT is 100ohm and the general rule I am told is 10x t... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Intriguing...who made this one of a kind OTL? how much were they asking for it? How much power does it deliver...and can you describe a bit more? thanks!!! | |
| Best DAC ? Hi Charles1Dad,Yes, that is exactly the impression I get from people I have spoken to. Lets say if I did not have the Zanden, I would personally investigate: Light Harmonic, Trinity, TotalDAC, MSB, Ypsilon, and then if I really felt the need to go... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Agree Ctsooner...and it also needs to be set up for the listener's personal preferences. I realize in extreme examples particularly, it makes perfect sense as we all hear differently. some of us measure the frequency response in-room...few measure... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... any particular Bowmore you recommend? | |
| Best DAC ? oh...in cost no object, you may wish to look at Ypsilon DAC as well. | |
| Best DAC ? Hi Nickodavidoff,I agree with Vhiner that many people will not wish to pay the premium for the upper end DACs. At the same time, I admit that I promised myself years ago to go with the best digital I could afford...and NOT go for vinyl or master t... | |
| Experience w Bybee products for AC power? I know the founder of Sablon Audio (see reviews from Sixmoons.com and Jeff Day)...and he really really likes Bybee a lot. Absolare uses Bybee in their power conditioner. A lot of custom-mod people use Bybee (see Oppo player mods). There are undoub... | |
| Best DAC ? Is hi-res important to you? What is your budget? With your system, you could certainly go super high-end. Stahl-Tek (one for sale here) often exhibits with Peak Consult and the results are stunning. Check out Albert Porters thread where he swears ... |
